What to Know

The Celtics will be playing the full four quarters on Monday, but they're expected to have things wrapped up well before that. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face the Charlotte Hornets at 7:00 p.m. ET at Spectrum Center. The Celtics are strutting in with some offensive muscle, as they've averaged 120.9 points per game this season.

The defenses reigned supreme when the Celtics and the Pelicans played on Saturday, rewarding bettors who took the risk on the low 223.5-point over/under. The Celtics came out on top against the Pelicans by a score of 104-92.

Meanwhile, the Hornets couldn't handle the Clippers on Sunday and fell 130-118. Charlotte has struggled against Los Angeles recently, as their match on Sunday was their 11th consecutive lost matchup.

Monday's contest is shaping up to be a scrappy game: The Celtics have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 46.4 rebounds per game (they're ranked second in rebounds per game overall). It's a different story for the Hornets, though, as they've been averaging only 40.6. Given the Celtics' sizable advantage in that area, the Hornets will need to find a way to close that gap.

The Celtics couldn't quite finish off the Hornets when the teams last played back in November of 2023 and fell 121-118. Can the Celtics avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
